The Macau GP is just nuts, let’s just get that thought out and up front. A proper road race on, you know, the road…it boggles the mind to think that competitors at Macau share the circuit’s near four-mile course length with each other, unlike the Isle of Man TT’s single-rider time trial format.

This of course means riders are angling for apexes with each other, all the while there is virtually no run-off to be seen. No margin for error, triple-digit speeds, and 200+ horsepower machines — like we said, the Macau GP is just nuts.

Don’t just take our word for it, have a look for yourself with this excellent on-board footage from eighth-place finisher Didier Grams and his gyros-stablized camera. It’s epic to watch the armco go flying by while this talented German rider does his thing.

Just looks that way because you’re not used to seeing a ton of reference points that close to the track. Race tracks are surrounded by grass with lots of run-off before you get to the barriers, rather than barriers at the edge of the track with all the goings on of a city on the other side.

No room for error! 0/10 safety in this “track”. If I was a rider I would protest by not racing in it, no matter what the media says!!!!

Congratulations to Jeremy Toye from San Diego CA finishing 6th on his BMW in the mix with some pretty fast boys I’d say. Good Job!

no worries, I’ve already stripped the footage of it’s audio and re-encoded with the BENNY HILL theme. we’re good.
